When Yankees director of media relations Jason Zillo approached Aaron Boone and his players with an idea to promote positive change, there was no hesitation.

Last weekend in Detroit, as non-stop rain led to three of four games against the Tigers getting postponed, Zillo stumbled across a video of a young girl telling her heartbreaking story on Facebook. Her name is Cassidy Warner, and through a series of hand-written pages, she reveals the despicable bullying she's endured for the last three years at an elementary school near Scranton, Penn.

Zillo figured a video response would be fitting and poignant, and the players were all aboard. Virtually every member of the team participated, holding their own hand-written notes that together formed an encouraging message for Warner. The Yanks posted the video to their Twitter account.

"All of us players were definitely up for doing it. Obviously it means a lot," Dellin Betances told the Daily News Thursday before the Yankees faced the Blue Jays at the Stadium. "You feel for people that get bullied at a young age — not even at a young age, just throughout life. You feel for that person. Obviously a lot of things can come from that and hopefully we just sent a positive message not just to the person herself, but to everybody in general. So it was nice for us to do something like that.

"As athletes, we got to be able to use our platform in positive ways, obviously to impact a lot of people's lives. And I think our voices are heard in a big way, so why not try to do it for good causes and good things?"

Didi Gregorius was second after CC Sabathia to appear in the video. "We know sharing your story must have been difficult," Gregorius wrote on his cards. "But you showed courage." Gregorius said each player decided what he wanted to write on his cards.

"We want to try to stop it. That's what you want to do," Gregorius told the News. "We want everybody to feel the same and not getting bullied all the time. That's one of those things that I think everybody should be aware of, that people get hurt from those things."

Added Aaron Hicks: "I think it was awesome, man. Bullying is something that shouldn't be accepted."

Hicks held a card that offered Warner an invitation to come to the Stadium and eat lunch with the team. In her video, Warner writes that kids at her school get up from the lunch table whenever she tries to sit down.

Boone confirmed that the team is hoping to bring Warner to New York to meet the players.

"To stand up for something like that I think was an easy call for us as an organization, for our players, and hopefully we can make a difference not only in this situation, but across the country," Boone said. "It's not OK, and to see our guys stand up and have a role in that is not surprising, because I know all those guys in that room and the character that they (have)."
